Several years ago the Fall Rivers
went to Portland, Me-, to play a game
with the crack nine of the town When
the two town clubs appeared upon the
field to engage in the contest, it was
discovered that the Portlands were short
OF man, ana they were in dilemma
in consequence. Finally, after the
crowd of spectators had been canvassed
in vain for man to fill the vacancy, a
big strapping, bare-footed fellow, who
was the personifcation of rural simplic-
ity, stepped forward and said he would
play if they wanted him to. He was
unknown, but the local nine was in a
condition to grasp at a straw, and ac-
cepted the proffered services. This
barefooted countryman was Gore, and
he was put out into the field. The first
ball the Fall Rivers knocked was a long
and high fly that sailed toward Cores
territory. All eyes turned in this direc.
tion, and the Portlands mentally kicked
themselves as the batter began his round
of the bases, for having put green one
in that particular field, supposing, of
course, he would muff the ball. But
Gore was equal TO the emergency, and
spreading his capacious paws, he cap
tured the fly with the same ease that has
since characterized his play.
The Fall Rivers had a pitcher that
day who was considered perfect terror,
and the Portlands went down before
aim like grain in the face of high
wind. When, however, it came Cores
turn at the bat, he swung the bat around
with giant strength, met the ball and
lifted it far over the centre fielder's head,
20 the great astonishment of everybody,
including the Fall Rivers themselves.
Throughout the game he distinguished
himself, capturing fly after fly as they
came his way, and hitting the ball every
time he went to the bat. He was the
hero of the day aud the admiration of
ALL After the game the manager of the
visiting club stepped up to him and
asked what he did for living. "Odd jobs
on farm over in Saccarap, he said.
He told the manager he would like first
rate to play for a living, and the inter
view resulted in Cores engaging to play
with the Fall Rivers at a salary OF $8
week and going home with them. From
Fall River he drifted into New York
State, thence to Chicago, and now he is

October, was ambitious to we'd damsel

of early May. His success was admlra-
BILE up to n certain point, and then came
the nipping frost which made him
wiser and a sadder man.
The fair maid of the golden tresses
smiled on the wrinkles of her aged lover,

The day was fixed, the orange blossoms
were ordered, but the day never came
and the orange blossoms were not need

hairs, made love to the maiden, and be
fore the septuagenarian could don MS
dress suit for the banquet the ungrateful
couple sped like the wind to nelghbor-

The father is now violently stamping
dust out of the carpet and making re

on the other hand, are waiting for the
paternal temper to cool, while the whole
town chuckles with delight.

The Restoration of Charles on.

Five months have elapsed since Charles
ton, S. c., was visited by one of the
greatest calamities that have ever afflict-
ed an American city. The story of the
terrible disaster has been told over and
over again. So, too. has been told the
story of the loving, practical sympathy
of the American people-a sympathy
which found expression in golden flood
| of charity. 1t was not until Charleston
held up her hands and stayed the flood
that it ceased to flow in upon us At
that time over $500, 600 had been con
tributed, of which $3.50, 100 in round
numbers was set apart for the rebuilding
of the homes of those who would other
wise have been homeless, and nearly
50 0. 900 for the rebuilding of the
churches. The Relief Committee gen
erously set apart 800, 900 of the relief
fund to aid the city in rebuilding its
hospitals, almshouses and other institu-
tions devoted to the care of the sick and
INDECENT poor OF the city.
At the end of five months much has
been done to restore the city to its former
condition. The damages by the earth.
quake were roughly estimated at So,
600, 600. The aid so lavishly and gen
erously poured into Charleston has en-
abled those who could not do so with
their limited means to rebuild their
houses. while others who were able have
also not been idle. Since the night OF
the 3tst of August, 1856, the city has
risen from its ruins. Remunerative work
has been furnished to over five thousand
home mechanics. while over one thou
sand five hundred mechanics from abroad
have como here, and many OF whom will
make Charleston their home. - Neps aad

DEATH OF CAPTAIN COOK.
The Navigator Held to be n God Until
Pierced by Spear.

Perhaps the most interesting spot to
Americans and Europeans is the village
OF Kaawloa, at which place the famous
English Navigator, Captain Cook, was
murdered by natives, who, it has been
enormously stated, consumed his body
Tor food, one chief, in particular, reserv-
ing his heart as his especial share This
story was disproved by the statement of
one OF the missionaries who gave to a
newspaper correspondent al account of
the affair, and which is substantially as
follows:
Captain James Cook, attached to the
royal navy, accidentally called in at the
Hawaiian Islands, where he remained
for some time bartering and trading
with the natives. Upon one occasion a
boat belonging to Cooks vessel was
either accidentally sent adrift or was
stolen by the natives. This loss so in
censed the English Captain that he de-
termined to punish the Hawaiians for
their alleged dishonesty The simple
minded natives, to whom the sight of a
white man was novelty, had gradually
become IMPRESSED with an idea tn 1t
Cook was possessed with supernatural
powers and eventually he became look
ed upon as being the God Sono, and
was paid divine honor in consequence.
Cook conceived the idea of enticing
on board his vessel number of married
women, whom he designed to hold as
hostages until after the return of his
property. A few people, however, at
tribute to this action a mo sinister
motive. Be that as il may certain it is

became angry at being separated from
their wives. The chiefs became further
incensed at the wanton murder of one of
thel- number, who was shot while ap-
preaching the English vessel in a canoe.
Finally Cook determined to entice on
bo rd the vessel Queen Kealakekun and
her husband, King Kalamiopuu, A boat
with the national colors of England fly
ing from the stern sheets approached the
shore, containing Cook, who was in full
dress uniform, and who was received
upon his landing by the royal family and
an assemblage of chiefs and other na-
tives After considerable palaver, the
king and queen both con ented to visit
the Eng ish vessel. As the former was
about to enter the boat an cd warrior
exc aimed:
al do not be ieve he is god will
prick him with spear. If he cries out
l shall know he is not"
He thereupon struck Cook in the back,
who, with ye of terror, fell to the
ground Another thrust from the war

A Story to Disturb CascO Citizen

Late one afternoon about twenty years
ago a good looking girl came into the
argus office and put in an advertise
ment for money lost by her. The pre-
vious night she had come from Boston
on the boat, and soon after coming on
shore she missed her purse, which con-
tanned all her worldly wealth, some $3.50.
The greater part of this sum she had
earned by service in families in Massa-
chusetts No response to that adver
tisement was ever made. Yesterday
We were informed that the man, who
twenty years ago found that poor girls
purse of money in the ladies' cabin of
the Boston boat, and has kept it all
these years, is a res dent of the town of
Casco, and that steps are being taken to
compel him to return the money, with
interest, to the loser, if the latter is
now living, or to her heirs, if she is
dead.
As the story is told US, this Casco man,
then young fellow, came to Portland
in company with girl of his neighbor-
hood to whom he was paying attentions.
Z He took her on board the Boston boat,
she never having seen a steamer. While
they were in the ladies' cabin, the stew.
a1dess came in accompanied by the girl
who had lost the money and began a
vigorous search. This young fellow and
his girl joined in the search. Suddenly
his quick eye spied the purse, lying on
the floor partly hidden by the folds OF
one of the berth curtains. He quietly
put his foot on the purse, and as soon as
the stewardess and the girl to whom the
money belonged had turned their backs,
he hastily picked up the purse and
showed it in his pocket.
The only person who saw him do this
was the girl whom he hoped to marry.
On their way home to Casco the young
man, having taken out the money, gave
the purse to the girl as keepsake, but
the girls mother made her give it back
to her dishonest lover, This couple are
now people of middle age, married,
though not to each other, and both live
in Casco. The man, 1t is said, has &C
cumulated quite property, and is able
to return the money he practically stole
from that poor girl so long ago Port
